My passion is for environmental economics, especially insofar as it relates to the development and regulation of electricity markets. After spending a year analyzing Smart-Grid programs I assisted in the development of an integrated assessment model based on analyzing the relationship between economic development and climate change. I then served as an economic consultant for Strategic Economic Engineering Corporation, before ultimately discovering my love of teaching at The Nueva School. Since 2015 I have taught a variety of classes at Nueva, including Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics, Game Theory, Environmental Economics, Economic Inequality, Economic Research, Political Economy, and Model United Nations.

• Collaborated with Dr. Christian Traeger to develop an integrated climate assessment model • Used MATLAB to map the relationship between global output growth and carbon emissions • Improved the model accuracy using Excel 2013 functions, solvers, and macros
• Compared 16 federally funded Smart Grid projects across financial and technical metrics including load balancing, peak shaving, metering, and grid resilience • Interviewed managers of 3 utilities and 9 energy storage start-ups in order to establish best practices • Organized a workshop to present a Smart Grid Roadmap to the California Energy Commission
